So if time is a 4th dimension, meaning moving forwards and backwards, if you traveled at the speed of light you would actually stop? since time is physical movement? Please clear this up, making progress here

I was tought that time stops when you reach the speed of light. How so? what I mean is what is time? isn't time just a measurement/schedule. For example, I am waking up at 6am tommorow, that just counts specific measurements on a mechanical clock for a specific amount then it rings. It is a schedule sort of. So how can one say that time stops? If you carried a clock on a space ship traveling at the speed of light, would it keep ticking like it always does? I mean for time to stop, the clock has to stop right? Please clear this up for me, because it all makes no sense. I just believe we are always in the present.

First off, I would like to say how happy I am to discover such a forum! I was searching google for a calculus forum and this site popped up. I am very interested in the world and universe, and love debating it. I have many questions and would love to expand my knowledge. I don't think too many 17 year olds are chatting on science forums lol. But I have an itch for math and science/technology. I love computers and want to become a computer hardware engineer and design microprocessors for companies such as AMD and Intel. Nanotechnology also interests me a lot. Basically, I love learning about new technology and how the universe operates and whatnot. I have to finish studying for my AP physics, AP calculus, and AP government classes. Big tests tommorow I will start reading up on these posts tommorow. Later, and thanks for letting me be here.
